WSMB First Purchasers
Wisconsin soybean farmers appreciate the first purchasers, i.e. grain dealers, (elevator, terminal, processor, seed producer, trucker or extruder, etc.) for all they do in the industry, and specifically for Wisconsin agriculture.
The first purchasers collect the checkoff from the producer. First purchasers in Wisconsin are required to collect on all soybeans purchased, regardless of the state-of-origin. All soybean producers in every soybean-producing state participate in the checkoff program. The only exception is a producer who holds a current Certificate of Exemption issued by the United Soybean Board. Exempt producers must provide a copy of their Certificate of Exemption to all first purchasers with whom they transact.
